 3 BEST FREE Video Editing Software for PC - 2023

today we are going to look at the three

best free video editing software for PC

and this software is truly amazing you

can do things like remove the background

behind you

you can also convert text into speech

hello I'm a computer speaking that is

pretty cool

you can even design your very own custom

lower thirds just like this one

you can also layer one video right on

top of another video and you can also

apply some really cool filters and

effects in fact I don't know why you

would pay for video editing software

when there are so many good free options

out there

let's check out these apps first we're

going to look at a free video editing

app called clip champ and this one is

made by Microsoft

on Windows 11 go down to your start menu

and search for clip champ and you should

see it as a pre-installed app

you can also get it directly through the

Microsoft store simply search for clip

champ and then you can install it

you can also use it directly in your web

browser simply type in clipchamp.com and

then you can sign in with a Microsoft

account which is completely free to set

up when you first launch into clip champ

you'll see an interface that looks like

this and right up on top you can jump

directly into a new video or down below

you can also start from a template and

clipchamp has many different available

templates so let's say you're pulling

together an Instagram post or maybe a

short for YouTube you could start with

those right here and there are so many

different options to choose from when

you first launch into a project you'll

see this editing interface and it's

really simple and intuitive to use over

on the left hand side you see your media

and this is where you could import

things like videos audio images and GIFs

you can simply drag and drop files from

your computer directly into clip champ

and then they'll show up in your media

one of the really nice features is you

could also pull media in from your phone

very easily right up above next to

import media simply click on this drop

down and here you could pull files in

from your phone or any one of these

Services once you've imported in some

media you could simply click on one of

your files and you can drag it down to

the timeline right here here I could

drag a few different clips onto my

timeline and you can also add multiple

tracks here I could pull this video file

and I can place it above the other ones

so this gives me two different tracks

and there I can see the layer underneath

I can position this wherever I want in

the top right hand corner I can also

change the dimensions of my video

project so let's say I want to pull

together a video for Instagram or Tick

Tock here I can switch it to 9x16 and I

have all of these other options as well

down below if I select a clip on my

timeline over on the right hand side I

can adjust all of the properties related

to that clip here I could adjust the

volume I could adjust the fade in or

Fade Out I could apply various filters

and one of the really neat filters you

could even apply a green screen filter

to remove a green screen background here

you could also adjust colors you could

adjust the clip speed so you have lots

of different options over here if we

look over at the left hand side here we

have all these different options here

you can record and create so you could

record your screen in camera just your

camera or adjust your screen and it

turns out it's a really good screen

recorder down at the very bottom you can

also take text and you can convert that

into speech and this is a phenomenal

feature you can choose all these

different languages all these different

voices different voice Styles it's well

worth testing out back on the main

editing screen right here we also have

access to all of those templates that we

saw on the landing page for clip Jam so

here you can get to all of them right

here over on the left hand side you also

have a massive collection of stock music

and sound effects the one thing to

caution those only some of them are free

to use if we scroll down just a little

bit here you'll see a diamond icon and

this is a premium song you have to

upgrade to be able to use it if you use

it in your project without upgrading

it'll place a watermark on top of your

video and no one likes a watermark just

like with the music and sfx down here

you also have a massive collection of

stock video and you have some free

options and then you also have some

premium options so you'll just have to

be aware of which ones you're choosing

and here you also have stock images that

you could insert into your project and

here too you have some free ones and you

also have some premium ones as we

continue moving down this list here I

could also insert text into my project

and you have so many different options

that you can choose from just like with

media here you can select some text and

you can drag it right onto your project

and just like with video clips here I

can click on the text and over on the

right hand side you have all sorts of

different properties that you can modify

related to that text

back on the left hand side you also have

various Motion Graphics that you can

insert and you have lots of different

options that you can choose from you

even have giphy which is a really fun

one to explore next up you also have

various Transitions and you have lots of

different options with one of these

transitions simply pick one that you

like and you can press on it and then

drag it onto the timeline between two of

your clips and that'll apply the

transition once you're all done with

your project in the top right hand

corner you can click on export and

currently the highest quality level that

you can export at is 1080p

and I would venture to Guess that 4K is

coming soon but currently this is one of

the big limitations all in all clip

champ is an excellent choice for

beginner and intermediate users it's

just so simple and intuitive to use

if you want to learn all of the latest

clip champ tips and tricks you can check

out the playlist right up above

if you want a little bit more power and

control like let's say for example that

you want to build your own visual

effects or maybe you want to be able to

use keyframes to adjust properties over

time

then some of the next options will

likely be a better match next up we're

going to look at an app called cap cut

this also happens to be one of the most

popular mobile video editing apps and

they've recently released a desktop

version

this is made by the company bite dance

that's also the company behind Tick Tock

so they know a thing or two about making

a successful video to get cap cut head

to the website capcut.com and here you

can use it in your web browser or you

can download an app

now unlike clip champ where you get the

same exact experience on the web or in

the app with cap cut I found that you

get a more feature-rich experience if

you download the app so I would

recommend doing that when you first

launch cap cut you'll land here on the

project screen in the top left hand

corner I would recommend signing in when

you sign in you won't get a watermark on

your video

unlike clip champ you don't have a big

collection of templates that you can

choose from but that's okay let's click

on start creating this drops us into the

main editing interface and currently

we're on the media View and just like

with clip champ it's very easy to get

your media in you can simply drag and

drop files from your computer and then

release them into the app and here we

see all of the media and just like with

clip Champ here I can select a file or

one of these clips and I can drag it

down to my timeline down below here I'll

drag a few different clips down onto my

timeline and you also get multiple

tracks here I could take this clip and I

can place it above the other Clips on my

timeline once you start pulling down

Clips onto your timeline and you start

telling your story you might want to

make some adjustments to the individual

clips here I have this clip selected on

my timeline and in the top right hand

corner I have all of my properties

related to this clip and there are so

many options here here for instance I

can adjust the scale of this video clip

here I can zoom in or out and one of the

neat things that you can do with cap cut

that you can't do with clip champ is you

can set keyframes over on the right hand

side I can click on this icon to place a

keyframe that basically defines the

properties at this point in time here I

can move forward on this clip and let's

say I want to zoom in at this point here

I could drop another keyframe now when I

play my video file

you'll see that it zooms in

between those different keyframes back

on the right hand side you have all of

these different settings let's say you

have shaky video here you can stabilize

it

you also have other features like cut

out maybe you have a green screen or a

chroma key that you want to apply you

could do that here also if you have a

person in your video you could

automatically remove the background with

a feature called Auto cutout one of my

favorite features is right up here under

enhance if you have a person in the

video clip you can make adjustments to

the way the face looks here when I check

this it automatically identifies my face

and maybe I want to brighten it up or

maybe I want to give myself smoother

skin I can do all of that right here as

I go down you can also apply facial

Beauty and you can also adjust the

makeup the body this is really fantastic

AI functionality that identifies parts

of your body so you can Target different

changes on top you can adjust the audio

related to a clip here you can adjust

the speed you could animate a clip so it

fades in or Fades out

here you could also apply tracking let's

say you want to apply motion tracking

you could do that right here and you

also have other adjustments that you can

apply on this last screen if we look

over on the left hand side just like

with clip champ I can access stock audio

here you have music that you can apply

and you also have various sound effects

that you can apply the one thing I

really like about cap cut is all of them

are included so there are no premium

files that you have to upgrade to access

just like with clip champ up on top I

can insert text into my project and here

you see all these different options of

text that I can insert just like with

the video clips here when I place text

on my timeline here I could adjust all

the different properties related to this

text so I have lots of different options

to get the text to look exactly how I

want it to look within text on the top

right hand corner you can also type in

some text and here if you click on text

to speech and just like with clip Champ

here you could have cap cut read out

your text in all these different voices

and one of my favorites you can also

have a vocalist sing your text this is a

really fun one to experiment with over

on the left hand side under text there's

also something called Auto captions this

is where cap cut will listen to the

audio in your project and it'll

automatically convert it into captions

that's a really nice feature and you

could also customize exactly what that

caption text looks like back up on the

top bar here you also have various

stickers that you could insert into your

project let's say you want to add an

animated subscribe button you can do

that here you also have various effects

that you can apply here you have video

effects and you also have various body

effects that you can apply and here too

you have many different options up on

top I could also apply various

transitions here I can look through some

of the trending Transitions and similar

to clipchamp here I could simply take

one of these Transitions and I could

drag it between two of my Clips on the

timeline back up on top I also have

various filters that I can apply to my

video and here I simply drag one of

these and I could drop it on top of one

of my video clips to apply that filter

one of the really nice things about

capcode is that you have a big selection

of shortcut keys in the top right hand

corner you can click on shortcut and

this shows you all the different

shortcut keys that you have available to

make your editing so much quicker

another really nice feature let's say

that you're recording a video and you

want to provide a voiceover right here

you can click on this microphone icon

and you can now record a voiceover for

your project they make it really easy

once you're all done with your video

project in the top right hand corner

click on export and here you can Define

all the different settings one of the

things I really like is here you can

export in up to 4K quality one thing to

watch out for remember to check this box

that says remove Watermark from your

video before you export all in all capca

is an excellent choice whether you're a

beginner all the way through to an

advanced user

to learn all of the greatest cap cut

tips and tricks be sure to check out the

playlist right up above last up we're

going to look at the free video editing

software that I personally use on my

YouTube channel and it's called DaVinci

Resolve

this is software that many TV and movie

studios use on their Productions that's

how good it is to get DaVinci Resolve

head to the following website you'll

find a link right up above on this

website there's a free version and

there's also a studio version the free

version gives you more functionality

than you'll find in most paid video

editing software that's how good the

free version is

the studio version has some additional

effects and filters and AI tools which

you have to pay for but again the free

version will give you 99 of what you

need when you first launch into DaVinci

Resolve here you'll land on the project

screen and here you can kick off a new

project or you could go back to one of

your recent projects now unlike clip

champ you don't have templates that you

can start from here I will click into an

existing project this drops me into the

main editing interface and just like

with clip champ and also cap cut in the

top left hand corner I can click on the

media pool and here I see all the media

related to this project

here too I could also drag some clips

from my computer and I could drop them

into my media pool so I could start

working with them over on the right hand

side you'll notice that I have two

different preview windows in both clip

champ and also cap cut I only had one so

what's the difference here well this

window over here allows me to preview

clips that are in my media pool so here

I could preview one of these clips I

could also set in and out points for

this specific clip before I bring it

down to my timeline over on the right

hand side I have another preview window

and this allows me to view or preview my

project as it's coming together on my

timeline to bring a clip down into your

timeline we do the same thing that we

did in all the other apps here I could

go up to my media pool here I can select

a file and I can drag and drop it down

onto my timeline and here I can position

it where I want it and here too you also

get multiple layers or tracks for your

video clips when you click on a clip on

your timeline you can go up to the top

right hand corner and click something

called the inspector and this allows you

to modify all the different properties

related to this clip and just like with

cap cut you can set keyframes at certain

points in time to modify these different

properties over time over in the top

left hand corner here I'll close the

media pool and here we could also insert

all these different effects all right up

on top you have all sorts of different

transitions that you can insert

over here you also have different audio

transitions here you could insert text

or titles onto your project mirror you

simply drag one of these items and here

you can drop it onto your timeline here

you also have different generators you

have different effects here you have all

sorts of different filters that you can

drag and drop onto any one of the clips

on your timeline so you have so many

different options DaVinci Resolve does

so much more than just basic video

editing in fact it's kind of like an

application with many other applications

within it if we look down at the very

bottom of the screen here currently I'm

in the editing interface and that's what

we've been looking at so far but over

here I could also click into another

page called Fusion in the fusion page

you can pull together some simple or

very complex visual effects for example

if you want a logo to glow and Float

above your hands you can pull that off

with infusion down on the very bottom

there's also another page for color

within the color page you have just

about all the tools you could ever

imagine to get these specific look and

feel that you want for your video

project down below you also have

something called fairlight audio and

just like with color and visual effects

here you you have all the different

tools that you need to adjust the audio

of your project here you can click into

effects and there are all sorts of

different effects that you can apply to

your audio tracks down at the very

bottom when you're all done working on

your project here you can click on

export and you have all sorts of

different export settings to export it

exactly the way you want to export it

and here you could go all the way up to

8K Ultra HD all in all DaVinci Resolve

is the most powerful video editing app

that we looked at today

basically if you can imagine something

you can make it come to life in DaVinci

Resolve the downside with that though is

it also has more complexity and as a

more complex app it also has a steeper

learning curve

if you're interested in learning how to

use DaVinci Resolve maybe you're just

getting started I've included an

introductory video right up above

that'll show you all of the fundamentals

hopefully you found video editing

software today that works for you

let me know Down Below in the comments

which one did you decide to go with

to watch more videos like this one

please consider subscribing and there's

that lower third that I made in DaVinci

Resolve that's the kind of stuff you can

do
